A small practice for careful buildings.
Vato was founded in Ghent in 2017. We are 18 architects, landscape architects and builders who work on one project from first sketch to the year after handover.
Every stage, in house
From the first site visit to the year after handover, one team carries the project, so nothing is lost between drawing and building.
- 01
Interiors
Joinery, lighting and materials, resolved together with the building.
- 02
Site supervision
We stay on site until handover, so nothing is lost between drawing and building.
- 03
Planning approval
Applications, neighbour meetings and consultations with the municipality.
- 04
Landscape
Courtyards, gardens and the spaces between buildings.

A drawing is a promise. We keep it on site.
In the depth of a window reveal, the line where brick meets timber, and the hour the sun first reaches the room.
